Restless legs & arms!

Anybody else suffer with RLS? I’ve had it for a while now but the further in my pregnancy the worse it gets! It’s travelled up to my arms and my skin feels like it’s whenever I sit down and relax! Any tips to help are welcomed! x

I have it even outside of pregnancy so in pregnancy it's REALLY bad. In my legs and arms. Up until 2 weeks ago I was until all hours of the night. So what has worked is, doubling my iron dose (anemia worsens it), rubbing my legs with 100% pure Magnesium oil right before bed it does burn and tingle but it WORKS, and you can drink Natural Calm magnesium at night. It has been the GO TO for many pregnant women suffering with RLS. It's on Amazon you can read aboit it there. Also don't lie in bed for hours, only get into bed when you're ready to sleep, you have about 15/20mins to fall asleep before it'll start if you dont sleep in bed. I don't watch tv in bed anymore otherwise it'll start and I won't sleep!
